The coastal province with the least plains in China, where mountains account for nearly 90% of the area

In our country, there is a coastal province with the least plains, where mountains account for nearly 90% of the area, making development very difficult! Curious friends might ask, who is this coastal province with the least plains in China? What different landscapes are there? With these questions and curiosity, let's talk about Fujian Province today. Fujian Province is not only the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road and Zheng He's voyages to the West in history, but also a maritime trade distribution center. Located on the southeast coast of China, it borders Zhejiang Province to the northeast, Jiangxi Province to the northwest, Guangdong Province to the southwest, and faces Taiwan Province across the Taiwan Strait to the southeast. The terrain of Fujian Province is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, presenting a situation of mountains by the sea. The area of mountains and hills within the province accounts for about 90% of the total area of the province. Among the three major terrain steps in China, Fujian is classified into the eastern 'lowest' third step, which often creates an illusion that it should be very flat there, right? However, only those who have taken the train to Fujian and passed through one tunnel after another know: Are there really so many mountains here?
